Multifiles are mounted with VFS, yet dont load textures.

Scripting Issues
1

Hi all! I’ve been trying to find a way to mount multifiles so that I can use my game after it has been frozen with pfreeze. It keeps giving me an error about how it cannot load a texture, although the multifile has been mounted.
Here’s the code I’m using to mount:

from panda3d.core import *
vfs = VirtualFileSystem.getGlobalPtr()
import glob
for file in glob.glob('../resources/*.mf'):
    mf = Multifile()
    mf.openReadWrite(Filename(file))
    names = mf.getSubfileNames()
    vfs.mount(mf, Filename('/'), 0)
    print('mounted ' + file[13:])

And here’s a traceback:

mounted phase_10.mf
mounted phase_11.mf
mounted phase_12.mf
mounted phase_13.mf
mounted phase_3.5.mf
mounted phase_3.mf
mounted phase_4.mf
mounted phase_5.5.mf
mounted phase_5.mf
mounted phase_6.mf
mounted phase_7.mf

Any and all help is appreciated. Thank you :slight_smile:

You’re mounting to / but / is not on the model-path. Try adding “/” to the model-path and see what happens.

Thank you. I realised that for this to work with multifiles, i would have to change every occurance of “phase_” with “/phase_”. And because I am too lazy to do that right now, I have added the entire resources folder including uncompressed textures within folders (phase_(number)) and that works for me. It has turned out a success, and my game is now fully compiled and working!

Or you could just add “/” to the model-path, which would not require you to alter every occurrence of the path manually.

Config.prc:

model-path /

Or in code:

from panda3d.core import get_model_path()
get_model_path().append_directory("/")

It’s a bit strange to use / for this, it’s more typical to mount it to a path like /mf and then add /mf to the model-path.
